Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Chemistry

Alika [10]3 years ago

Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

A liquid-fueled rocket engine has two liquids, usually called the fuel and the oxidizer. Which two liquids are most commonly use
hammer [34]

Answer:

A liquid-fueled rocket has two liquids (liquids are good because of the density, they need less space than a gas to be stored), such that these liquids are called the fuel and the oxidizer.

These liquids are injected into a system that leads to a combustion chamber, where the liquids are mixed (we need to mix the fuel with the oxidizer to enable the combustion of the fuel) and burned to produce thrust.

Some common examples of oxidizers are liquid oxygen, which may be combined with fuels like liquid hydrogen, liquid methane, kerosene and hydrazine.

Other oxidizers are liquid fluorine (which also can be combined with the fuels liquid hydrogen and hydrazine), nitrogen tetroxide (which can be combined whit kerosene, hydrazine and other fuels) and FLOX-70, which can only be combined with kerosene.

The "most commonly used" may depend on the country and the type of liquid propellant ( petroleum, cryogens, and hypergols)

Such that the most common oxidizer may be liquid oxygen, and the most common fuel the kerosene.
